About Mres Nanomaterials in Imperial College London

Nanotechnology represents a fundamental change in the way we interact with the natural world, and is set to deliver major scientific and technological advances.

The massive global investment in nanotechnology means that scientists who are trained to work effectively in an interdisciplinary environment that bridges chemistry, physics, materials science, biology and engineering, will play a vital role in shaping the future.

Combining interdisciplinary teaching with cutting-edge research, this course will train the next generation of nanotechnologists, and provide the background required for a career in industrial or academic research.

You will be introduced to nanoscience from material science, physics, chemical and biological perspectives.

Academic qualification equivalents

•  To be considered for admission to a Master's e.g. MSc, MRes, MBA etc, applicants should normally have completed a three to four year Bachelor's degree from a mainstream university (state/federal or ‘deemed' institution) passed with a required grades.

  Applicants for research should hold a three to four year Bachelor's degree and Master's degree, both passed with required grades. Integrated Master's degrees with required grades will also qualify an applicant for entry to Research.

  Applicants from elite institutions will be required to obtain a minimum overall average of 7 / 10 or 60%. These are the College minimum scores and particular departments may seek grades at a higher level.

  Applicants from other approved institutions will be required to obtain a minimum overall average ranging from 7.5-8 / 10 or 65-70%. These are the College minimum range of required scores and particular departments may seek grades at a higher level.
